Products like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duckbrand.com\/products\/shelf-liner-bath\/adhesive-shelf-liner\/concrete-20-in-x-15-ft\" rel=\"nofollow\">EasyLiner Removeable Adhesive Laminate<\/a> offer quick, affordable and dorm-friendly solutions to temporarily transform the living space. Whether creating a full-wall brick backdrop, a faux marble backsplash behind desks or dressers, or cut-out geometric shapes for accents, the easy-to-use product offers a wealth of pattern choices for endless creative applications (that can be removed easily at the end of the year).<\/p>\n<p><p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Add Familiarity With Photos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Living away from home for the first time will likely leave students longing for family and friends. Photos of familiar faces will help get them through any homesickness while helping new friends and roommates get to know them a bit better. Whether making photo collages on posters; hanging individual pics on a decorative string with clothespins; or crafting unique paper frames for memorable moments, students should be sure to hang each image with dorm-approved adhesives that won\u2019t damage the walls. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duckbrand.com\/products\/paint-diy-tapes\/specialty-duck-tape\/clear-94-in-x-5-ft?gad_source=1&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwv7O0BhDwARIsAC0sjWPPgJEZ4DRtbCWD2sBuy9IsZN1XGopZgmjAn9zpTVixPQfezl_F0x8aAhGUEALw_wcB\" rel=\"nofollow\">Duck Max Strength Nano-Grab Double-Sided Gel Tape<\/a> is an ideal choice for mounting any wall art since it offers long-lasting adhesion that applies and removes easily from most surfaces without leaving a sticky residue.<\/p>\n<p><p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Furnish the Floor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After the walls, the floor is the biggest surface area in the dorm room. Instead of opting for the basic carpet remnants sold on most campuses, college kids can add a textured or fuzzy rug for instant comfort and style. Choose a circular shape or one with vibrant colors and patterns to infuse the room with personality.<\/p>\n<p><p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Create Welcoming Windows<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Windows are often overlooked in dorm d\u00e9cor, but with a little creativity it\u2019s easy to make them stand out. Students may want to consider sheer curtains to let in natural light, while adding a soft, open feel. If the room doesn\u2019t have curtain hardware installed, they can use a tension rod so as not to damage walls or window frames. For a pop of color or texture, drape colorful fabric or scarves over the window or frame the entire window with strips of removable adhesive laminate.<\/p>\n<p><p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Pop With Pillows<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An effortless and impactful way to add a pop of color and instant decoration to a dorm space is with pillows. Add a mix of sizes, patterns and fabrics to transform a basic bed into a sensational seating area. Or add a few larger pillows to the floor for a cozy study nook. Plus, pillows are easy to swap out, allowing students to change their dorm d\u00e9cor with the seasons without much effort or expense.<\/p>\n<p>For more information or inspiration, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duckbrand.com\/home-and-diy\/home-diy\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.duckbrand.com\/home-and-diy\/home-diy.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>By following this guide to dorm room d\u00e9cor, college students can easily add big style to their small dorm room space.<\/p>\n<p><p style=\"text-align:center\">*****<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/feeds.statepoint.net\/townnews\/placement.ashx?t=c&amp;id=10565&amp;l=en-US&amp;r=1723525804278.95\" \/><\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/imgupload\/a392f24a33c9c92b0226032f2e1b45e3.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><br \/>The Ultimate D\u00e9cor Guide to Transform a Dorm Room<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(StatePoint) When looking at the drab walls and bare windows of a college dorm room,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-412799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=412799"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412799\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=412799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=412799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
